Edition 76
Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.

Gm friends,
This week has been another rollercoaster ride.
Alts got mostly obliterated, whilst ETH and BTC both saw moves down.
Sentiment was probably the worst it’s been for a while.
However, we had light at the end of the week with BlackRock filing a spot BTC ETF.
Your weekly reads:
Today’s newsletter is brought to you by Vertex Protocol:
Everyone that I have told to try Vertex has been astonished at their UI/UX.
It really is an example of a DEX that has closed the gap on CEXs. Pairs are still slowly rolling out. They just announced ARB perps are now available to be traded.
Vertex allows you to trade, earn, and borrow all from one DEX. Their Universal Cross-Margin means all funds across spot, perps & money markets contribute to your account’s margin.
Vertex haven’t released their token yet, but you can earn it by using their platform!

Free crypto security tool
Security is something you should never compromise on in crypto. I’ve recently come across Webacy.
It’s a full Web3 Safety Suite with a great interface and dashboard. Getting real time notifications if any unusual transactions occur in your wallet could be the difference between you saving your assets or losing them.
A few things you can do with it:
• Get a risk score based on your wallet attributes and transactions
• Get SMS’s and/or emails of all inbound and outbound transactions, approvals, trades, and more, for both pending and confirmed states of transaction
• Webacy’s Backup Wallet empowers you to set a recovery wallet in case of loss of access or wallet drainer hack. The Panic Button allows you to move assets in bulk to a safe wallet that you determine in the event of a compromised wallet.
And that’s your alpha.
